When you walk up to the chessboard in a tournament, your opponent laughs, puts their feet up on the table, and mumbles to themselves "Well this is going to be easy"
Signs you're a bad chess player
Sort:
You call bishops holy or you call them whistles
The second worst player at a tournament is 2001 points higher than you(1-second worst player,-2000-you)
is it actually possible to get a negative rating?
I don't think so, it was just a joke.
hmmm... anybody wanna try it out? 
My first ever USCF rated game OTB: I had this scenario:
And my opponent, after hitting his clock whispers to me, "Oh.. I meant to put the bishop on THIS square!" (he pointed to c5).
You know you're a bad chess player when you openly admit it indirectly.
And yes, he really had a rating of 294. I went on to win the game (albeit, barely. I was a bad player too!)

I always need to look at the notations. Then again I'm aware that I'm not very good.
You vaporize your opponent and say they didn't show up!

Another sign that you're a bad chess player, is when you move your a2 pawn and think you're smart. It actually means you smell.
Oh, I apologize, that's me, I forgot to take a shower yesterday!
When you play 1 game, then run like a coward.
All your pieces are hanging (If you know what I mean!). :D
that was so funny!

I'm working on it! 
I think someone actually had a rating of 0 on here, or maybe I imagined it.

He did it on purpose.

This really says it all -- might as well lock this thread now.
